# Parks & Open Space

Parks, urban squares and the seafront — the largest single land use in the plan.

Measured by area, open space is the biggest thing in this plan — more ground than housing, commerce or employment. Parks, urban squares and the seafront together are what turn an airfield into a place people walk through rather than past.

The two-kilometre promenade is the spine of it, running the length of the district from Reading power station in the south to Tel Baruch in the north.

## What the plan fixes

- A 2 km waterfront promenade runs the length of the district. _(Plan TA/4444 validation sheet, via Shavnu, 2020-03)_
- About 300 marina moorings are planned at the northern end. _(Plan TA/4444 validation sheet, via Shavnu, 2020-03)_
- Reading power station, the fuel tanks, the marina and the park are being replanned together at the southern edge. _(Shavnu Journal: hotels, marina, Reading, 2026-08)_

## Good to know

### Open during construction

The Tel Baruch beach and promenade stay usable while the district is built.

### Squares are not parks

Urban squares are hard-landscaped civic space, often fronted by commerce.
